R. N. COLLINS DIED
EARLY THIS MORNING
The many friends of Mr. R. N. Col
lins were greatlf shocked this morn
ing to learn of his death at 3:30
o'clock a. m.
Yesterday Mr. Collins was report
ed better and his friends and rela

During the night, however, he took
a change for the worse and in his

Mr. Collins was one of the best
known and most popular young busi

time of his death associated with Mr.
M. D. King In the insurance business.
He was always a gentleman—nature
made him so, and he counted his
friends by the number of his acquaint
ances. As a business man, he was
very successful and stood high in busi
ness circles, being always on the pro
gressive side.
Mr. Collins was 33 years old and

Saratoga Springs, N. Y„ June 19.—
Hypnotism as a cure for drunkenness
was recommended In a paper by 1 ,'r.
John Quackenbos, of New York, read
today before the convention of the
American Society for the Study of
Alcoholispi and Inebriety. Many other

of those addicted to the excessive
use of intoxicants delivered addresses.
At the session of the World's Tem
perance Congress this morning the
review of the temperance conditions
of the world was continued, the
Hod discussed embracing the years
1868 to 1888. The relation of the
Methodist Episcopal - and Baptist
denominations to the temperance re
form was also considered,
topics were: "The Citizen as a Re
former" and "The Second Emancipa
tion."
One of the most important events
of the Congress is scheduled for this
afternoon, when the delegates will
gather at the home of Dr. "Billy''
Clark, the founder of the first tem
perance society in the world's history,
and unveil a memorial tablet to his
memory. The society established by
Dr. Clark in 1808 is still in existence,
